I might have missed too much stuff for too long, but to me it felt like 3.5* difficulty. But while that might be debatable, this being a fantastically well-crafted and fun puzzle is not. :)
Thank you for this beautiful challenge, 99%Sneaky!

Muchos gracias sujoyku :D
High praise indeed! There are certainly some subtleties to be uncovered here.

Very nice! Based on solve time 3 stars, but based on the required logic a bit more approachable than that, which actually means it was a smooth and fun solve. Thanks!

Thank you! Very nice logic there to determine your thoughts on the puzzle :)

Nice colouring puzzle and it was tough at times but collapsed eventually. 60 minute solve for me.
------------------------
Congratz on getting to the end. 6.67 minutes/box is a nice pace.

This felt like a 2* puzzle to me.
----------------------
Interesting, I went with the feedback I got which said it was hard. Interested to see what it will be at if/when rated.

Either I am really good at this (unlikely), or this is way easier than 4*. Less than 30 min with time to spare, no extraordinary logic required. Still a fun solve though.
--------------------
Nice time then, glad to hear you enjoyed it, I would still say you did quite well :)
